The Complete Guide to Shih Tzu Dogs

Hardcover version is printed in FULL COLOR!'We received our book and it is absolutely amazing! The book is outstanding! We have 5 Shihs in our family and it’s spot on. I love how the book contains pictures of people’s pets vs some extreme ’show type’ Shih-Tzus. Molly has a lot of helpful info in the book and was really honest about things (like the wiping of the bums after going potty). Thank you guys so much!' - Erin Abay'I just received the book, I Love It and my sister and her sister-in-law are going to buy copies!
